Winter 2021 - YALL these reviews are bad for a reason. She may be nice and sweet but her grading is insanely hard. The first essay we submitted she gave the whole class a D- or lower after she said that we would all be fine. Further, the feedback was so minimal I actually don’t know how to improve my score by at least 20% to pass. She gives no rubric and penalizes you for following instructions. I’ve never had a such an unreasonable Professor before. Like she is absolutely not taking into account the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic. Do not recommend
